Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count. I  normally don’t keep finished work on my list but I did so I could show you.

The blood Rose curse is Serena’s submission for the spring anthology Fae Corps Publishing is putting out (Into the Fae Woods) the call is still on the Fae Corps Publishing blog if you are interested.

Stolen skins is for the fall anthology (call will be on the blog in March) and it is also Serena’s. I don’t separate my word counts because I often have no need. I know who is the author.

Madame Fae’s Story house is for Patricia to submit to a new anthology we are trying to get started. We always do the spring and fall anthologies but I want to try to do a kids anthology for kids week. Children’s short stories and art. the call will be on the blog on Halloween.  if this one works I will be trying to make it a yearly one.

On my health issues I have another dang sinus infection. I swear my immune system is so bad that I catch anything just by breathing. I managed to get more writing and work done this week regardless of how I feel.

Lyrics –


I’d like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves

(Chorus)
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That’s the real thing

(Chorus)

(Chorus 2)
What the world wants today
Is the real thing

What the world wants today
Is the real thing


My 2 cents –


turning on the news today hurts. so I think I would rather…

The Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card

Affecting, genuine, poignant, uplifting: a limpid, beautifully orchestrated” thriller about a family’s struggle with evil from a New York Times–bestseller (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
For Step Fletcher, his pregnant wife DeAnne, and their three children, the move to tiny Steuben, North Carolina, offers new hope and a new beginning. But from the first, life for eight-year-old Stevie is an unending parade of misery and disaster.
Cruelly ostracized at his school, Stevie retreats further and further into himself—and into a strange computer game and a group of imaginary friends.
But there is something eerie about his loyal, invisible new playmates: each shares the name of a child who has recently vanished from the sleepy Southern town. And terror grows for Step and DeAnne as the truth slowly unfolds. For their son has found something savagely evil . . . and it’s coming for Stevie next.
“For Stephen King fans and those who like their suspense mixed with the supernatural.” —Library Journal
“Absorbing . . . the pull of family drama with an overlayer of rising supsense.” —Publishers Weekly

My Thoughts

First let me say I am not a big fan of Orson Scott Card… His books are more science than fiction and that genre has never been my go to. That being said I found this in the library when I was in middle school. I have always been one that devoured all books whether they were my favorite to read or not.

This is a sweet ghost story. Not his usual. Plot twists and well written story makes this one well worth the read.

Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count. I added over 200 words to the blood rose curse (Serena Mossgraves submission for the upcoming anthology Fae Corps Publishing is releasing)  and started on her submission for the fall anthology.

Forgotten Knowledge is sitting at 7 poems but the stupid app likes to occasionally forget the stuff I put in the list.

I wish I could say that the progress was over the week. Honestly It was just Thursday. Two poems and roughly 500 words. I spent the rest of the week drugged and asleep because of pain. this may be my way until at least February.

Lyrics –


They say, “Freak
When you’re singled out
The red
Well, it filters through”
So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
This change
He won’t contain
Slip away
To clear your mind
When asked
“Who made it show?” (made it show)
The truth
He gives in to most
So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
Seeing red again, seeing red again!
Seeing red again, seeing red again!
Seeing red again, seeing red again!
Seeing red again, seeing red…!
They say, “Freak
When you’re singled out
The red
It filters through”


My 2 cents –


this one has an interesting feeling to it.
